Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9966852A1] The present invention relates to a device for stopping a bleeding in living tissue in humans and animals by forming a necrotic layer (13) in the tissue (12). This device comprises a member (1) for generating a dynamic plasma flow of such a character that it is capable of wholly or partially penetrating an outer, porous layer (14) of the necrotic layer (13). The device also has an electrosurgical generator (8) arranged to transfer electric energy to the inner limit of the porous layer (14) through a circuit that comprises the plasma flow and the tissue (12). The invention also relates to a method for use of such a device.
